The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The National Independent Political League Which Recently Met in Boston, Massachusetts, Promulgates its Address to the Country It Demands the Enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution It Severely Condemns President William H. Taft for His Color Prejudice Vol. XVI The National In Which Recently Met in Boston its Address to It Demands the Enforcement Amendments to It Severely Condemns Presidency Golor H The National Independent Political League, which was organized by Colored citizens to secure for them equal rights under the constitution, especially the enforcement of the fruits of the war for Freedom, the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution, recently met in its fourth annual session in Boston, Mass., and promulgated the following able address to the country. Demand Same Rights as Others. We believe that the honor, welfare and security of this Republic depend upon the abolition of race and color prejudice and color discrimination in citizenship and the life of the people. We demand only all those rights and opportunities enjoyed by all other people of the land and absolute equality for all under the law. Unfair Treatment by Press. The reputation and well-being of any racial class is vitally affected by the press. The Colored people suffer an unfair disadvantage from this course by the ignoring or minimizing of meritorious acts and achievements and the emphasizing of the color in all matters that reflect discredit. Color Prejudice and Labor Unions. The denial of the right to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow because of race or color is a violation of the most fundamental principles of humanity. Nothing is more inconsistent than that for labor, seeking rights and control of the labor mraket, to draw the color line. We commend such labor unions as are open to all workers and condemn those guilty of color discrimination as hostile to the real interests of labor and enemies to mankind. Curse of Caste in Segregation. All true Americans should be opposed to the establishment in this Republic of any caste system. Yet a return to the out-grown caste of heathen India is evident in the ostracism and segregation of American citizens, especially the enforced separation by public statutes. The Jim Crow Car laws of the South are a stigma and a public brand of inferiority put purposely upon all citizens of Color. They seemed the extreme of this caste until lo, behold, enactments for residence segregation, even preventing occupancy of property by the owners. This color segregation we resent as an insult and an abridgement of our freedom and property rights. In this Government founded on the principle that taxation without representation is tyranny and that Government-derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, the right to vote is preservative of all other rights. Hence the denial of the ballot to Colored Citizens so boldly carried out by Southern States, even under State Constitutions, constitutes a political crime such as the world has seldom witnessed. Logically in its wake has followed the complete detuction of citizensip until there is nothing in the category of human oppression not suffered by the disfranchised black millions of the South and this in violation of the 14th and 15th articles of the Federal Constitution. Lynching, Anarchy, Barbarism. The right of trial by jury is a cardinal principle of civilized government. The accuser and the accused must be brought face to face and the evidence sifted by an impartial jury. The denial of this right is subversive of government and destructive of civilization. Yet Lynch Law reigns supreme in this United States. The condoning of this outrage in the South by the silence of the North has encouraged and strengthened this monster until he holds today with his grasp the entire country, and we stand upon the verge of anarchy. The brutality of these mob murders puts to shame the Dark Ages and causes even Turkey to shudder. Whole white communities lapse into barbarism as thousands turn out even on the Sabbath to witness the burning of human beings while little children drink in thirst of human blood and women fight for pieces of the charred bones and roasted flesh as souvenirs. Pres. Taft's Record, Silence and Blame. In the face of this color discrimination in varied forms the chief executive of the Nation, sworn to enforce the Constitution, uphold the law, and sustain the dignity of the country is silent, inactive and publicly declares his impotency. The President in his inaugural laid the foundation of it all. His first act was to announce color discrimination in the right to hold Federal office. Next he set the example of color discrimination in perpetuating the injustice of the Brownsville injustice without trial and punishment without conviction of guilt. He continued his bartering with the color prejudiced South by putting the balance of the Supreme Court in the hands of the Bourbon South. He has lent the prestige of his high office the doctrine of inferior education for Colored Americans. He reffused the request of Colored Men to recommend to Congress action against lynching and has refused in the presence of human holocausts to raise his voice for trial by jury for Colored Americans. And he a Republican elected by the votes of Colored Men! Demands on Federal Government. In view of the extraordinary and alarming state of affairs we demand of the Federal Government in the interest of justice, equal rights and the security of the Country: 1. The enforcement of the Constitution, to stop disfranchisement and peonage. 2. The passage of a Federal anti-Jim Crow Car Law for interstate passengers. 3. Federal aid to education with the same schooling for all. 4. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 5. Legislation making lynching a capital offense under Federal Jurisdiction. Preserve Federal Supervision We further declare our opposition to any repeal of Federal supervision of Federal elections in the direct election of the United States Senators. Independence in Voting. We urge the Colored Men of the Country to use the ballot where possessed as a weapon of self-defence for all their race, to be subservient to no political party, but to vote independently for men and measures using their suffrage and making alliances with a view to securing equal rights and opportunities for Colored Citizens. As to Agitation. We warn all Americans, both white and black, that wrongs and injustice grow and spread under submission and silence and that agitation has been, is now, and always will be the great means to arouse the people to preserve their inherent rights. The Slogan. Colored people of America, determined to have justice and equality in this land of our birth, saved by the muskets of our fathers, let our CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 30, 1911. [Image of a woman seated in a chair, wearing a long dress with ruffled layers and a headband. She is holding a book in her hands.] MRS. ELNORA MANSON. Mrs. Elnora Manson, gave her lecture-recital, "Peer Gynt," by Isben at the Grace Presbyterian church, Thursday evening, and those who absented themselves on account of the rainy weather, missed a rare treat. As it was, the audience was composed of many of the most cultured and progressive class of Afro-American men and women in this city. Miss Ada Lou Mitchell was the solo-accompanist on the piano. The fine piano used for the occasion, was furnished by the F. L. Gale Piano Co., 3159 State street, Miss Mitchell, proved herself to possess a large amount of musical ability and her playing was indeed exceedingly pleasing to those who love high class music. Mr. Theodore E. Jones, Mesdames Myrtle Hart-Fry, Helen Roane-Polard, Edna Rose Denison, Misses Estelle Louise Arnold, Ethel Clothilde Mitchell; assisted in the affair. At the conclusion of the first part of the program Mrs. Manson, was showered with more than two armfuls of choice cut flowers the bouquets were presented by Mr. Wm. R. Sobers, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Walker, Cleveland, Ohio, admirers, Mr. David Manson, Mrs. John R. Marshall, Mrs. J. L. Fry, Mrs. H. R. Pollard, Mr. Thodore E. Jones and Miss Estelle L. Arnold. MOTTS PEKIN THEATER Another great bill has been secured for the week beginning Monday, October 2nd. Consisting of all Star Colored Artists, the following acts will be seen: Chicago Comedy Four, singers and instrumentalists. Return of the favorites, Gilmore, Kinky and Gilmore, in a novel and unique offering. Miss Fanny Wise, the well-known operatic singer, in an entirely new album of songs. Mr. Frank Kirk will be seen for the first time on the stroll in his original creation, the tramp musician. Mr. Kirk plays music on any old thing. Bailey and Bailey, the fashion plates of singing, dancing and their revival of cake walking, this monster bill closes with the very laughable comedy sketch entitled His Other Wife. The Pekin is now keeping up a very high standard of Colored acts and slogan be—Agitate, Educate, Organize, ever remembering that, "Eternal vigilance is the Price of Liberty," and that, "He who would be free must himself first strike the blow." The program was as follows: Part 1—Brief Commentary, Paraphrase (The Story), The Orchestral Suite. I. Ingrild's Lament. II. Ase's death. Intermission. Part II—I. The Arabian Dance. II. Anitra's Dance. III. Solneig's Love Song (revised version.) IV. Morning. V. The Storm. VI. Solneig's Cradle song (from the original.) From the beginning to the end of her difficult and most trying task, Mrs. Manson, performed it to perfection, her reading or recital of the various parts of the Poem, which in our humble opinion is Ibsen's best and most interesting production, was clear and distinct and it was perfectly apparent to close observers that she had drank in every part of it to the full and that it had as (it were become a part of her very being.) It was her first public introduction to the musical world, and in one night or in a few hours time she hewed out a new pathway, so far untrudden by a mighty few Afro-American women. Mrs. Manson, cannot perform any nobler or higher work for humanity, than to continue to enlighten the minds of the people along this new musical line. by the large attendance the public must be getting their moneys worth. Everything is being done to make the Pekin the amusement resort for all people who have race pride. Let the crowds keep coming and the management will do their utmost to please all. Col. James Hamilton Lewis, this week started his boom for United States Senator, and the first of January 1912, he will open up headquarters in one of the leading hotels in the loop district and start on a speaking tour and visit every county throughout the state. The people of this state will have a tried and true friend in the person of Col. Lewis in the United States Senate. Samuel Corker Jr., late manager of the Pekin Theater and Syl. Russell, mixed up with each other in no friendly way on the streets a few days ago; it seems that Mr. Russell, wrote some unpleasant things about Mr. Corker, which appeared in the Freeman, hence the fast fight between them, n which it is said that Mr. Russell, got very much the worst of the fighting. National and Local Theatrical and Stage Notes No Jim Crow Theaters for Washington, D. C. or Cincinnati, Ohio Edited by the Stroller or by the Man on the Corner The Pekin Theater opened on Monday night for a full week's show. Offering one of the strongest all Colored vaudeville bills that has been seen on the Stroll. The bill opens with Otto Mayo in a clever dancing specialty followed by the famous Shattuck Comedy Four in a new line of quartette work their singing is far above any quartette heard in a long time. The McCarvers keep every one laughing at their funny antics and witty sayings. Miss Adah Banks was the surprise of the bill, she was easily remembered as a favorite of the Pekin Stock Co., but her versality during the week places her to rank along side of the best in vaudeville. Next on the bill was the ever popular Wise and Milton. Their act shows a new offering as they use the real travesty artists of color and they present the best Indian number before the public. Alonzo Moose mystified everybody with his wonderful illusions and tricks. All Colored vaudeville next week. New Grand. Opened with moving pictures on the bill is: Burket & Barton (white). Brown & Delk (Colored). This act has been seen too often and offers nothing new. Frank Rutledge & Co. white) in a playlet, Our Wife. Joe Simms (Colored) Over the Same Old Route. Davis & Cooper (white). Era Comedy Four (Colored) closes the bill. Monogram. As usual presents four acts of ebony entertainers in singing and dancing and dancing and singing. It was up to Cincinnati and Washington, D. C., to put their feet down on Jim Crow Theaters. The Colored papers of the district refused the advertisements of the Howard Theater unless they put in a Colored Manager Messrs. Rosenthal and Benedict have had a rough journey ever since they put white people at the head of the theater they have had two white managers and still they can't make the sensible people give the Howard enough support to make the enterprise pay. The owner made a mistake when he announced that the Howard was exclusively for the Negro, it did not sound good to the classy people of that city, but as it was opened under the management of a Negro who at once sprang into popular favor by announcing that under his management the Howard Theater would cater to all classes regardless of Color and under Negro management the house had an excellent chance of educating the people to high class shows, but Benedict and Rosenthal had many advisers who were not color blind but did not care to look at other than a white manager. So with the coming of a white manager the Negro saw the return of Jim Crowism and the Howard became of no interest the policy of white managers was to give free tickets to all white people that would accept them and find seats as far from the Negroes as possible and made public announcement that unless the Negroes supported the theater they would turn it over to the whites, but unfortunately for the owners they built their theater on a site more fitting for a Colored Church than a theater for whites and the theater will go down in history as the missing link.

Great interest was manifested during the run of Tallaboo and it is rumored that a down-town theater is now negotiating to present it with several changes in the cast. No matter where it is produced large attendance will be the rule, as it is what our people want to see, something elevating. Alice Mitchell is doing the Eastern vaudeville houses.

High Pace for All Other Insurance Companies. Appoints Chas. A. Griffin, a Negro one of its general agents and also several prominent Negro physicians as medical examiners. This week brings the news that Mr. J. L. Mitchell, General Agency Manager of the Western Life Indemnity Co., and one of the foremost insurance men of America today, has decided to establish a General Agency on the South Side for his Company to be managed and operated by Colored men. After conferring with several prominent Chicagoans concerning the matter, it was agreed that the venture must be made. Mr. Mitchell is a firm believer in the ability of Colored men and he is also cognizant of the fact that the respectable Colored men and women are as good risks both morally and physically as any other race of people. The Western Life Indemnity Co. is the first large Company to give us this recognition and no doubt this step will have a tendency to force the other Companies to do likewise. This is our opportunity to encourage this excellent move by co-operating as well as paotronizing this great Company. The Western Life is one of the best known Companies in America. It has been in successful operation for over 27 years; has not one death claim due and unpaid. It has paid to its members and beneficiaries over $7,000,000.00 and maintains a voluntary deposit with the Insurance Department of the State of Illinois of over $100,000.00 placed there for the sole protection of policy contracts. The Company issues 6 different kinds of policies which appeal to all the needs of one who desires protection. The premium rates are very equitable. By making this agency a success it will be the means of establishing other agencies in all of the large cities. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Cor 38th and Dearborn Sts., Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor.

Phone Aldine 2532 Seeks the Nomination at the Republican Primary. Says the Issue Is Corruption and the Responsibility for Its Correction Rests with the Republican Party in Illinois. To the Republican Voters of Illinois: I announce myself as a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Illinois, and I make this announcement to the individual Republican voters of the state, because the duty devolves upon you, under the direct primary law, to select the candidate. The questions that were heretofore considered in caucus and convention must now be considered by each individual Republican voter. The responsibility that rests upon the members of the party now is as great as the privilege that is accorded to them under a broad and salutary direct primary statute. The issue is clear cut. The Republican party never invited the corruption that has disgraced the fair name of Illinois, and the Republican party will not tolerate that corruption now that it has been exposed. The powers of the government of our state are divided, under the consti- W. H. tution, into three distinct departments, legislative, executive and judicial; and the corruption of any one of these departments saps the vigor of all the departments. No state can survive where the legislative department is corrupt, and where the public faith is turned to merchandise and the public credit turned to private gain. The great questions of corporate growth before the American people require the best thought and the most diligent attention on behalf of the officials, not only of the state, but of the federal government. There are no questions between the corporations and the people that can not be adjusted and settled between the corporations and the people. The one thing that has done more than all others to arouse prejudice in the public mind is the fact that corporate wealth has been the prey of corrupt legislatures, thereby making impossible an honest adjudication of the differences of opinion existing between the corporations and the people. Every time a corrupt legislature makes illegal actions from a corporation the money has to come out of either the pockets of the employees of the corporation, or out of the public. What the corporate interests are entitled to they should have without buying, and what they are not entitled to they should not be allowed to have by purchase. The example of official corruption not only has a tendency to invite imitation on the part of individuals, but has a great tendency to weaken every department of government. This is a smaller that comes home to the indi- vidual Republican, a matter to be settled by the individual citizen. No party can hope to meet the approval of the masses of the people of Illinois unless that party plants itself squarely upon the solid basis of political probity. And no party is fit to bear the reins of government of this state unless that party, both in its platform and through its servants, unfinchingly and courageously condemns the corruption that has been rife in Illinois for the last few years. There is no disaster pending against the state of Illinois but the disaster of forgetfulness; and no reform advocate, no platform promulgated, should be allowed to raise any false issue that will in any way keep the election of November, 1912, in Illinois, from being a clear-cut issue and from resulting in a decisive declaration that the people of Illinois unqualifiedly condemn the conspiracy of public officials that has disgraced the state and made the highest office within her gift the subject of repeated investigations and continued debate among people everywhere. My stand in this matter is well known to the people of Illinois. Not only in my official capacity but in my individual activities I have declared on all occasions that this issue was the big issue before the people of the state of Illinois. The time has gone by when this issue can be evaded by political acumen. Any man who would evade the issue in order to win for himself the support of any members of the Republican party is unfit to be governor of the state. In material prosperity the state of Illinois is first in the sisterhood of states. The genius of her people, in the building up of her great cities, the development of her institutions of business and learning and the scientific development of her farms, is a certificate to all mankind of her physical and material accomplishments. The underlying idea of our republican form of government, and the idea that has inspired the ambition that has made this nation the leader among the nations of the earth is that the poor boy has an equal opportunity in this country with those who have been more favored by birth. This he can not have it, by corruption, wealth may achieve what character and integrity alone should achieve. View it from any angle you may, the great towering and overwhelming issue before the people of this state is, shall the grafters, the corruptionists and the patrons of the "jack-pot" meeting at midnight, go unrebuked at the polls, or shall the people strike a blow for good government, decency and honesty that will set Illinois ahead in progress, in liberty and in law? The views I hold on public questions have been by me frequently expressed, and as the campaign goes on I will ask the privilege of presenting them more fully to you. I propose in this campaign, in every county of the state, to do all that I can to present to the people the importance of this one issue; and to prevent, as far as I can, designing men from beclouding the question before the people with imaginary dangers, imaginary disasters. Let us put our house in order. Let us settle this great moral issue, and the material prosperity of the state will take care of itself. The executive department of the government of the state should be run along the lines of the strictest economy consistent with the best public service. The governor of the state should be the governor of the people, and his administration should be expressive of the wishes and demands of the people. The comfort of the unfortunate and afflicted wards committed to the care of the state should be the first consideration of the executive. It should be his constant aim to administer his department in harmony with the legislative department, impressing what he deems to be the wishes and the desires of the people upon that department of the government when necessary or expedient, but he should never seek to dominate the department of the government entrusted by the people with the law-making power. And in submitting my candidacy I pledge myself to every Republican voter in the state that, whatever may be your decision, after a careful and conscientious deliberation, by that decision I shall abide.
